TESTIMONIALS / what people say

Very interesting lectures by experienced speakers, interestingly presented with numerous examples from practice and global trends. The concept of the conference surpassed expectations both educationally and organizationally. I am confident that the acquaintances we gained, the upgrade of our knowledge and renewed contacts will positively influence our business, but also the personal and professional growth of all members of our team who attended the conference. Istraturist follows and will keep on following trends which we apply in our marketing and all other activities; we invest in new technologies and the development of our business operations, and will surely attend the conference next year as well.

Jelica Panić - Head of Destination Marketing at Istraturist d.d.

Excellently organized, very interesting and informative lectures and speakers; some presentations will surely end up as recommended literature even beyond the marketing department.

Mato Rajić - Senior online promotion specialist at Hrvatska Lutrija

Must go conference for all those who are starting a career in digital marketing, but also a know-how place for experienced digital marketers. A conference that brings latest regional and global mobile advertising trends, with lectures that point out all the things one should not do when planning and executing mobile campaigns.

Vedran Petranović - Digital Strategist at Advans agencija

I attended the MAD conference for the second year. Lecturers and panellists were outstanding again this year and conference topics were current. As a mobile application owner who doesn’t have an in-depth knowledge of mobile advertising, everything was useful and totally understandable. I have managed to learn a great deal of useful information. Of course, I’m already thinking about MAD conference 3.

WHY EFFECTIVE TARGETING IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT ON MOBILE

Mobile phones offer substantially less screen estate for the presentation of content/online advertising. Bombarding users with ads in the hope that one of them will fall on fertile ground is simply not possible – and even less advisable than on a desktop screen. This strategy will just alienate consumers and motivate them even more to install ad blockers. Precise selection of the best ad – and presenting this ad to the right user at the right time – is the only sensible alternative. To do this, we need data about users. Fortunately, this data is becoming available … but you have to use it, too.

Managing Director and Partner, Renderspace • Slovenia

MOBILE AS SUCCESFULL PART OF AWARD WINNING DIGITAL STRATEGIES

Panel Discussion

Mobile vs Desktop: Chalenges, Myths, Reality

The panel discussion brought together media and advertisers with the desire to answer the burning question: Is display on mobile actually more effective than display on desktop?Is its higher price justified or is it just a consequence from users’ switch from desktop to mobile, and consequentially the smaller number of available ad positions? Or is the higher price justified by better results on mobile?Panelists:1. Zoran Turković2. Robert Čoban3. Karmen Lužnik4. Jan Jilek
